Digital marketing that makes industrial companies visible and measurable.

I'm a tech-savvy digital marketer who builds and revamps websites, gets them found on Google, runs paid campaigns that bring real enquiries, and tracks every step so you can see what works. I bring the automation that keeps it all efficient behind the scenes.

01 · Website design & revamp

Websites built to be found and to convert

A professional, mobile-first site with clear product categories and a way to capture leads is where digital marketing starts. Here is a full revamp built for an industrial supplier, alongside sites I've designed and built end to end.

Every one is a fast, single-page build made to load quickly, read well on a phone, and turn search traffic into enquiries. Hover any card for the story, click to open the live site.

02 · SEO & Google visibility

Getting a business found on Google

Nondu's Scones & Muffins is a Pietermaritzburg home baker with a loyal following and, until recently, no brand and no way to be found online. We fixed both, starting with search.

First, discoverability: the business now ranks at the very top of Google for the search that matters most in its town. Second, identity: a business with no visual language now has a complete, documented brand system, a logo, palette, typography and voice it can run on for years. Being found and looking credible are the same job.

#1
Number one on Google.

Search scones Pietermaritzburg and Nondu's comes up first, ahead of the established names in the area. For a business that was invisible online, that is the difference between being found and being passed over.

03 · Paid ads, tracking & reporting

From ad click to tracked enquiry

For an event-hire business competing in Durban, I ran the paid side and the plumbing behind it: Google Ads that brought 13 enquiries in the first month on a tight budget, and a client-journey funnel that tracks every step from click to enquiry to follow-up.

I instrumented the journey with Google Tag Manager and automated the follow-up with n8n, so we can see exactly which activity generates business instead of guessing. Each month I pull it together into an on-brand performance report, and streamlining that funnel opened R30k+ in business opportunities within the first two months.

04 · Content & the manufacturing sector

Content for a manufacturing group

For 18 months I ran content inside Beier Group, a South African manufacturing group. When I arrived there was no company newsletter. I built one from scratch and grew it into a publication that 1,800+ staff actually looked forward to.

I also managed the LinkedIn presence of three companies in the group (Beier Group, Beier Drawtex Healthcare and Beier Envirotec) and produced expo and sales material, including the marketing that helped capture 1,000+ B2B leads at the Electra Mining Expo. The newsletter went digital as a QR-code flipbook so factory staff without intranet access could read it too; I tracked reads and engagement, ran surveys, and learned Adobe InDesign producing every issue. Here it is, laid out spread by spread.

05 · Content & digital product

Turning a print manual into a product people use

Beier Drawtex Healthcare's 112-page training manual existed only as a single print file. I redesigned it into the new brand, then turned it into something people could actually learn from.

I built a companion web-app: the manual split into modules, with search, self-paced reading that remembers where you left off, and digital quizzes that check retention. Trainees get a more accessible way to learn; managers get visibility of progress and scores. Content that earns its keep, not content that sits in a drawer.

06 · Design & branded documents

The training manual, redesigned

Beier Drawtex Healthcare's wound-care manual had lived for years as a plain print file. I rebuilt it page for page in the new brand: the same clinical content, a completely different standard of design.

The original was a photocopied binder, flat colour, hole-punched pages and cramped type. The redesign gives it a considered cover system, a clear typographic hierarchy, brand colour and rebuilt diagrams, the kind of document a brand is proud to hand over. The same eye goes into capability statements, product flyers and sales collateral. Here are four matching pages, before and after.

07 · Translation & localization

Marketing material that travels across languages

Localization takes more than translating words. It means adapting layout and design so the brand stays cohesive across languages. Here is the design and translation work I did for Drawtex's international marketing assets.

20-Page Detail Aid (Digital View)

Redesigned the digital publication layout to accommodate text length changes during translation while maintaining brand alignment and typographic hierarchy. Clinical details were translated from English into final localized copy.

09 · Platforms & development

Comfortable on the tools, whichever they are

WordPress, Wix or hand-coded from scratch, I pick the platform that fits the job rather than forcing the job onto a platform. Either way I aim for the same thing: a site that is fast, easy to update, and built to be found.

My first venture taught me both sides of that, and it started from the same problem an industrial supplier faces when it says it is invisible online.

WordPress, from the ground up

In 2023 I founded Usuyazike, a venture built entirely on WordPress to give small, invisible local businesses a real presence on Google. I built the platform, the pages and the workflow myself, which is exactly the problem an established supplier faces when it knows it needs to be found online but has no way in. It is where I learned to make WordPress do real work, not just fill a template.

Hand-coded when it counts

Every site in this portfolio is a hand-built single page: no page-builder bloat, so they load fast and stay easy to maintain. Knowing how a site works under the hood means I can move between WordPress, Wix and raw HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and get more out of whichever platform a business already runs on.

10 · Ways of working

Set up to deliver, wherever the team is

I've run marketing functions inside a corporate group and as an independent working with small businesses. Both taught me to own the outcome and keep the work moving without being chased.

Willing to travel to Gauteng

Happy to be on site in Gauteng for a hybrid role, and to be in the room when it matters.

Proven remote self-management

A freelance track record of delivering unsupervised: I set the plan, run it, and report back without hand-holding.

Keeps the work on schedule

Newsletters, campaigns and reports that go out on time, month after month, with the automation to keep it efficient.
